"We are NOT naming him 'Smarto.' " - l.a.u.r.e.l.

LIFE UPDATE:  I've been working at home for a few months, and Anakin has been very friendly in the afternoons. He likes to climb on my desk or kitchen table, wherever I am working, get a few head-butts in, and then lie with his paw on my wrist.

The obnoxious new habit is to reeeeach up and claw my thigh "hello" in the morning. And the ONE morning that I wasn't wearing underwear (long story) is the ONE morning that he missed the thigh. If he had punctured skin, there would have been hell to pay.

Mikumi likes to rest his head on the laptop screen. He will climb behind the laptop, wait until you forget he is there, and then sit up and rest his head on the top, so he is looking at you like some sort of gargoyle. He will do this until either you pet him, or reach for a camera.
